The scale goes by orders of magnitude. You'll notice it goes from 10^0 to 10^3 to 10^6, etc, not 10, 20, 30, hence it's a logarithmic function, not a linear one. Thus every time you go up (or down) another level, you are increasing/decreasing by a much bigger amount than the previous level. | ||

I have this small video which shows the stars the same way. That makes it feel visually more impressive. Really impressive. | ||

As others have pointed out there may be some numbers that are off at the very end of the big scale stuff. That doesn't mean this whole thing is "theories". What do you even mean by that anyway? | ||

Theory, Sense 1 A scheme or system of ideas or statements held as an explanation or account of a group of facts or phenomena; a hypothesis that has been confirmed or established by observation or experiment, and is propounded or accepted as accounting for the known facts; a statement of what are held to be general laws, principles, or causes of something known or observed Theory, Sense 2 A hypothesis proposed as an explanation; hence, a mere hypothesis, speculation, conjecture; an idea or set of ideas about something; an individual view or notion. I'm gonna guess that you are leaning more towards the 2nd form Rooster. | ||
